Successfully rebuilt my old hoses using original 1965 fittings. Must use proper mandrel and technique to install.

Great product, requires some muscle to get the hose ends to start. My advice, buy the mandrels for the hose size you are using. Without the mandrel you will most likely create a flapper valve on the inner wall of the hose and cause oil or fuel starvation. Use lots of oil in the hose and on the fittings during assembly. The 303 hose will most likely outlive the installer, its a solid and reliable product.

It is up to you if you would like to use a firesleeve on this hose or not. It will all depend on your application if you were to need a firesleeve. If you were to get a fire sleeve for hose 303-4 for example, you will need to get P/N# 05-01843.
